Bilal Njie and his brother Moussa are charged by police with gross corruption related to gambling on matches. The brothers are suspected of intentionally receiving yellow cards. They were suspended by NFF's prosecution committee on March 20 for two months, but the suspension was lifted earlier in April due to lack of legal authority. This week the duo returned to KFUM's first team. Moussa Njie is not in the squad. A total of eight people are charged with fraud. The suspicion relates to individual incidents in matches, and police have stated there is no reason to believe the alleged match-fixing affected match results. According to police, the charges cover three matches.
